Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bicycle when they were involved in a crash with a two- or three-wheeled motorized vehicle, such as a motorcycle or moped. It specifically captures the initial treatment for the injuries resulting from this type of traffic accident.

Apply this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient injured while boarding or alighting a pedal cycle during a collision with a motorized two- or three-wheeled vehicle. This includes emergency room visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient visit for the injury.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause code (e.g., V00-Y99) to provide more detail about the accident.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the pedal cycle at the time of impact.
• Verify that the other vehicle involved was a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a car or truck.
